Ronaldo - he can do just about everything - charge down the wing, cross (finally), head it, works hard and, oh yeah, take free kicks ;-)
Rooney - works like a dog (how many times did he play full back against Spurs when Brown or Evra were upfield, get in centre forward type poaching positions, shoot & score (soon I hope), bulldog attitude
Van der Sar (though Rio and Vidic are part of this also). At the end of the season the goal difference may be the point that makes the difference for the championship and in spite of United's age old attacking flair in that case it will be the defence that has made the difference. If it gets through Rio/Vidic then it's down to the goalie and I've seen a number of times Van der Sar has come up trumps in that situation. Plus we looked a long time for a decent goalie after Peter left. Hell, maybe he was even the difference in the goal Tevez got on Saturday, shades of Barcelona with a green shirted goalie up for a corner in extra time! ;-)
